The most important thing about this subject is to be able to reason if it is right or not. And not all people - including health care personel - do this reasoning. They already made up their minds.

Also, a short teaser on next week´s episode with Henrik Grönberg, a professor and oncologist who was awarded "cancer researcher of the year 2022", who will talk about prostate cancer.

If you have 20 minutes to spare - join me in this episode!
